ITALIAN? TACO SALAD



Italian? Taco Salad image

I love taco salad and tostadas if you think about it it's pretty much the same thing! My boyfriend had asked me to make some taco salad and I was like okay sure thing! Then he asked me if I put spaghetti sauce in the meat. At first I gave him a weird look and he told me to trust him it was good--and it was! I have never tried it with spaghetti meat sauce but it was great and we eat it like that all the time! I have a big family so my recipe is for like 10 people.
